Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in South Lyon. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
South Lyon is a small city with a traditional downtown on Lafayette and Pontiac Trail, surrounded by fast-growing Lyon Township and the rural edges of Livingston and Washtenaw Counties. The paving work spans older driveways on established city lots, wider drives in the newer subdivisions that have grown up around the city, and the long rural drives on the larger lots just outside it.
Asphalt Express LLC has paved in South Lyon for over 30 years, through most of that growth. We handle driveway replacement and resurfacing in the city, new and replacement drives in the subdivisions, long rural drives and private roads on the outskirts, and the parking lots behind downtown businesses and along Pontiac Trail.
Owner supervision is standard on every South Lyon job.
Every service we offer is available in South Lyon. Most of our work here is residential driveway replacement and resurfacing, but the businesses along the main roads get the same crew and the same standard.
New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In South Lyon that is most often a full driveway replacement on a home that has outlived its original surface.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For South Lyon retail, office and service businesses we phase the work so parking is always available and finish with fresh striping.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For a South Lyon subdivision driveway, sealing every two to three years is what keeps it out of the replacement budget.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. Many South Lyon driveways from the 1980s and 90s are candidates: the base is fine, the surface is not.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In South Lyon that is mostly driveway replacement and resurfacing in the established subdivisions.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For a side drive, RV pad or long approach in South Lyon, millings are a practical alternative to full paving.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For a South Lyon driveway with alligator cracking and sunken sections, the base has failed and replacement is the right call.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For South Lyon businesses that means potholes fixed quickly, cracks sealed and striping refreshed.
The ground around South Lyon ranges from clay in the city to sandier, better-drained soil on some of the outlying lots, with wet, low ground near the Huron River and its tributaries. We assess each site rather than assuming, and build the base to suit.
New subdivision driveways are usually built on engineered ground, but they face the same freeze-thaw cycle as everything else. Sealing a new drive after its first year and keeping it sealed every two to three years is the single best thing you can do to make it last.
Seasonal weight restrictions and road standards in Oakland County are set by the Road Commission for Oakland County; for hot-mix specifications we work to the Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan guidance.
We look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and give you a free, honest estimate for what the job actually needs.
Excavate to the right depth, correct soft ground with fabric and aggregate, and compact a base that will not move.
Shape the surface so water sheds away from the house, the lake or the building, and toward ground that can take it.
Hot mix placed at the right temperature and rolled to spec while it is workable, with clean edges and transitions.
Striping where needed, a clean site, and a sealing schedule so the surface stays tight through Michigan winters.
The owner checks the base before the paver arrives and the finish before we leave. That is how our standard stays consistent across hundreds of driveways.
